Abstract: |
The building is an early example of a meeting house which retains the essentials of what is probably the early eighteenth-century plan, interior elements and exterior appearance, with evidence for earlier origins. The extensions are also of interest, and there is special historical significance in the association with John Gratton. Evidential value: The building and its extensions demonstrate a changing building history which probably has its origins with a seventeenth-century building, successively altered and augmented for use by the Quakers. The position of the building and nature of the plot it occupies relates to the medieval layout of the village and there is high evidential value. Historical value: The building is of special interest as an early eighteenth century meeting house. The association with John Gratton gives additional historical value, since he was a prominent Quaker preacher and writer, and for the manner in which his life illustrates the religious turmoil of the seventeenth century. There is high historical value. Aesthetic value: The building is of modest nature with vernacular characteristics, giving it medium- high aesthetic value Communal value: There is currently relatively low communal value, but the building has a history of serving the community and there is an aspiration to return it to community use. The communal value is low with potential for medium or high value. |
